    Pathophysiology of Dengue Fever

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the pathophysiology of dengue fever. It is caused by the Aedes Aegytpi mosquito which carries and transmits the dengue virus during feeding. The virus replicates in the mosquito's salivary glands before being injected into humans. It then enters the bloodstream and infects cells, replicating for 3-14 days before symptoms appear as the virus disseminates and triggers an intense inflammatory response.
